Slightly underweight or curvy/slightly overweight?
Do you have beef with obese women as well? Or you just hate anorexic women more. If so, why?
You keep trying to turn my belief that "pandering to society's/the media's vision of what a woman should look like is misguided and unhealthy" into me "hating skinny people."
What part of "love yourself as you naturally are" translates into "I hate skinny people"?
Because I don't see you bashing unhealthy obese women who are more prevalent than anorexic women. I don't see you positing a shocking picture of obese woman. Do you have more problem with anorexic women than obese women? If not, why didn't you state "I have beef with both women who starve themselves and women who stuff themselves with food"?
By the way I'm not underweight.
Because the media/society does not ENCOURAGE women to be obese - it not only encourages them to be underweight, it more or less demands it. I'm not railing against underweight women - I'm railing against popular sentiment. See the difference?
Then why did you say "My beef is with women who starve themselves to maintain an unrealistic weight/body shape."?
You're contradicting yourself.
Why do you have a beef with them anyway?
I've never understood the preoccupation about being seen as attractive. I see it in other women all the time, where turning heads and seeking attention seems to be the driving force of their existence. It's quite irritating, because everything is turned into some weird competition for them.
Admiring someone's physicality is just admiring the shiny wrapping paper. Everyone is drawn to different patterns, and it's just not that important in the overall scheme of things.
I've been thin, and I am currently overweight. I don't consider myself unattractive, and unless I'm looking for a sexual partner I really don't give a d#mn about other people's opinions.
People like what they like. The end.

Aren't you married?

For almost a decade. And no, not looking.
Fine, you can PM me your answers to my questions I asked in my last post.
I'd like simple answers to those specific questions.

This one time, a fat person ate a burger!

Nope, since you're the one who has a problem with it, you can PM me if it really matters to you. While you're at it, you can explain why it's okay to assume evil intent from someone who's new on this forum, about whom you know nothing. You are putting words in my mouth, and that is much more offensive than the unintentionally semantically incorrect statement I made....and then went out of my way to clarify, several times, after you jumped my s**t.
I see your responses as attention-seeking, not clarity-seeking. If you are deliberately choosing to misunderstand, I can't fix that. Carry on.

If only it was one time.
It's ok, I won't tell anyone that you had your fifth burger this week.

Now you made it clear. That's what I was looking for. Because you didn't answer my questions in a more direct way, I wasn't sure if you made "the semantically incorrect statement unintentionally." Now you admit it I can move on.
You don't know me either and if you do, you would know that I have no evil intent for you and I was really trying to understand what you really meant.

Thank you. FWIW, you came across as simply wanting to start a s**t storm, and not really wanting to know what I meant at all. I'm glad it wasn't that.

It's because you were jerk before and called skinny women "bags of bones".
Now imagine someone is describing overweight people as bags of fat....
Yeah, and I clarified my intent there, too. Which is why I felt like Yuzu was simply trying to pick a fight and didn't really care about my answer.
So, guys on here can be totally misogynistic, pretty much all the time, and that's okay, but let a woman make an offhand, snide remark about blindly following society's dictates that one can never be "too rich, or too thin" and that comes across as offensive? LOL!
But, thanks for letting me know I came across as a jerk. I'll be sure to let all the rest of you know when you're coming across as jerks, too.

I am a bag of testosterone.
And hair.
